Review Summary

Matto offers a vibrant and authentic Italian dining experience in Quebec City, widely praised for its flavorful pastas, fresh seafood, and signature meat dishes like veal and beef cheek. While many guests rave about the warm atmosphere and the exceptional, attentive service provided by the professional staff, some visitors note that the restaurant can become quite busy and noisy, leading to tight seating arrangements. Although the vast majority of experiences are highly positive, with many diners considering it a must-visit destination, a small number of reviews mention inconsistencies with dish preparation or speed of service during peak hours.

Fantastic, fresh Italian with a fun, high energy atmosphere. We shared fried calamari appetizer. My husband had veal scallopine, which he loved. I had amazing papparadelle with mushrooms & white truffle oil. The pasta was paper thin & perfectly done. Good variety in the menu. Nice options on wine list. Good value. Portions were very generous, so sadly we could not fit in dessert. Our server Mary Soleil was very efficient & friendly, even offering suggestions for the music festival in town at this moment. The manager was attentive & all staff seemed very on point. Very nice dinne

Our waiter, Simon, was just the best. My friend wanted a lemon drop cocktail. He looked up the recipe on the internet & made it so well, she got another. He recommended a delicious appetizer & helped us with our wine selection. All of us really enjoyed our entrees & desserts. But, Simon's fun & friendly personality is what made this a truly memorable experience.
